Nike (NKE) has initiated layoffs within its technology division as part of a strategic reprioritization. The company confirmed that a portion of this work will now be handled by third-party vendors, signaling a shift in its operational approach.
The development follows the company’s third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings release in March, where Nike issued a softer-than-expected forecast for the fiscal fourth quarter. The market responded swiftly, with shares tumbling 5.5% the day after the announcement, reflecting investor concerns over the company’s near-term trajectory.
